About This Manual
This is not a technical manual. Technical manuals usually
include information about the drive mechanism (like drive
specs, wiring schematics, pin outs ... stuff like that). Since
opening your Glyph enclosure voids your warranty, our
documentation covers the setup & use of the product, not
the drive inside it.
If you have questions or comments of a technical nature,
we urge you to check out our web site for technical
resources at www.glyphtech.com, or contact the Glyph
Technical Support Department at (607)275-0154.
The importance of the addendum.
Now, here’s one of the most important parts. As
technology changes, so do our products. So, in an effort to
make sure you have all of the most up-to-date information
and methodologies regarding your drive, we occasionally
include addendum sheets in your packing materials. Please
read this document for specific information about
compatibilities and formatting issues which may apply to
your situation.

Unpacking, Inspection & General Info
Your Glyph drive and accessories are packaged in a sturdy
shipping container. Please inspect the container for
evidence of shipping damage and mishandling. If such
evidence is found, file a report with the carrier or your
Glyph dealer immediately and do not attempt to unpack
and operate the Glyph drive until the carrier or dealer
confirms the damage. Glyph products are factory sealed
and you should not accept a box which has been previously
opened.
Open the box. Get all excited. Now, proceed with
unpacking the Glyph drive and verify that all of the
following items are present:
1. The Glyph drive itself
Tabletop -or- Rack Mounted
2. One (1) Glyph brand SCSI Cable
3. One (1) Terminator
4. One (1) Power Cable
5. Rack Screws (rack mounted drives only)
6. Warranty Card
If any of the items are missing, contact the party from
whom the drive has been purchased to arrange for
replacement.
• It is a good idea to keep the shipping container and
packing materials for storing or shipping the Glyph Tape
Drive at some future date.
• Save the serial number/part number document for your
records. this is very important should you ever need tech
support or service.

Parts Identification
Take a moment to study the diagrams below & on the
following pages. You will be connecting cables and setting
switches on the drive shortly, so it will be helpful to know
the layout of the physical connections.
Glyph drives come in tabletop & rack mounted
configurations... yours looks like one of the following 5
enclosures.

Configuring your Glyph Ultra Wide Drive for Install
Your Glyph ultra wide drive will interface with your SCSI
card through the SCSI cable which is supplied with your
drive, or with a cable specified by your ultra wide SCSI card
manufacturer. The drivers to use the Glyph drive with a
Macintosh are included with your ultra wide interface card
package. Follow the instructions in the card’s manual for
proper installation. The drivers are specific to the Ultra
Wide interface card that you have inside your computer.
If you have an incompatible card, Glyph can provide
currently compatible cards for most applications.
Connectivity
Ultra Wide SCSI is an interface specification that facilitates
high speed data transfer between devices. The specification
for Ultra Wide SCSI allows the connection of up to sixteen
(16) peripheral devices to one Ultra Wide interface card.
However, a more realistic, “Real World” application would
be to daisy chain up to eight (8) devices together with up
to 1.5 collective meters of cable (don’t forget to factor in
six inches of internal cabling per drive).
Connecting the Glyph Ultra Wide Hard Disk
To connect your Glyph drive, locate the following items
from inside your new hard drive’s package:
Rack Mount Drive -or- Tabletop Drive
• The Glyph drive itself
• Power cable
• SCSI interface cable(s)
• Active Terminator

Installing Glyph Hard Drive Hardware
Step 1 - Install your Ultra Wide card
Carefully ... follow the installation instructions in the
manual which came with your ultra wide interface card.
The card must be installed correctly in order for your
computer to communicate with your Glyph Hard Drive.
If you are having difficulty with any aspect of the
installation of your card, please contact the manufacturer
of the card for technical assistance.
Step 2 - Position the Drive
If you are using the Glyph ultra wide rack mount drive,
mount the drive (using the four supplied screws) into your
rack, or find a level, solid surface on which to place the unit.
If you are using the Tabletop Glyph Drive, find a level,
solid surface on which to place the unit.
Step 3 - Connect Power Cable (Power Off)
Make sure that the power is off on all of your computer
equipment and the Glyph drive. Connect the power cable
to the back of the Glyph drive. Plug the three prong power
plug into an appropriate power receptacle, preferably with
surge and spike protection.

Step 4 - Connect SCSI Cable
The pins of the Ultra Wide SCSI cables are extremely easy
to damage, so be very careful plugging and unplugging
them. Carefully ... connect the SCSI cable to the Ultra
Wide SCSI card which you have already installed. Then
connect the remaining 68 pin end to the back of the Glyph
drive in either the top or bottom 68 pin connector. These
two connectors are functionally identical and the open
connector can be used for adding more ultra wide devices
or for termination (more on termination in this guide).
Glyph uses a 68 pin High Density connector for our
LVD/ultra wide drives, so we’ve supplied a 68 to 68 pin
Ultra Wide SCSI cable with each Glyph ultra wide drive. If
you already have one or more ultra wide SCSI devices
connected to your ultra wide SCSI card, you need to daisy
chain your drives together. If your Ultra Wide SCSI card
uses a connector other than 68 pin, call Glyph Technical
Support.

Step 5 - SCSI Termination
Like we mentioned earlier, the ultra wide SCSI interface
specification allows up to sixteen (16) peripheral devices
connected to one ultra wide SCSI card. The ultra wide
SCSI bus wants to know where the first and last devices
connected are. This is accomplished by adding active
termination to the peripheral devices. Active termination
can be implemented in many different ways. Glyph has
supplied a small rectangular 68 pin terminator that plugs
into the remaining 68 pin connectors on the back of the
drive (or where ever the end of the daisy chain).
When to Use Termination
on your Computer
When deciding if you need to use the terminator for your
Glyph drive,use the following as a guide:
* In this case, make sure that none of the “middle” devices are terminated. Only the first and last devices should be
terminated.
Ultra wide SCSI devices are physically connected together
by cables in a “daisy chain”. When we refer to first or last
devices, we refer to the physical location of the device in a
daisy chain rather than the SCSI ID number of the device.

Step 6 - SCSI ID Selection Switch
The SCSI ID Selection Switch sets the
drive’s SCSI identification number. Each
device connected to your ultra wide SCSI
card must have a unique SCSI
identification number. The sixteen (16)
possible identification numbers are 0
through 15. When you select a number
for the Glyph drive, be sure that no
other ultra wide SCSI device, or your ultra wide SCSI card
(which is usually set to 7), has the same number.
Setting the ID Switch
Based on the previous discussion, you are now ready to set
the SCSI ID Selector Switch on your new Glyph drive. The
Glyph tabletop’s SCSI ID Switch is located over the power
button, behind the sliding door on the front of the unit.
The Glyph Hot Swap Tabletop’s ID Switch is found on the
back of the enclosure, above the power cable input. The
Glyph rack mounted drive SCSI ID Switch(s) is(are) on the
front panel of the unit.
If you found that your ultra wide SCSI card did have one
or more ultra wide SCSI devices connected, make sure that
you select a unique SCSI ID number for the Glyph drive
that is not currently in use. Push the plus or minus button
on the SCSI ID selector switch to increment or decrement
the SCSI ID number. Once it is set, you will not have to
change it again unless you add more devices to your ultra
wide SCSI bus.
You must turn off the power to both the computer &
Glyph drive when switching SCSI ID numbers and then
restart in order for the drive to recognize the SCSI ID
change.
